| More land and less Palestinians by any means necessary. |
By Ahmed Amr
It was bound to happen. The Israelis have decided to opt for outright ethnic cleansing. As of April 13, 2010 - the Israelis military will be accorded the power to deport any Palestinian or any foreigner in the West Bank if their papers 'aren't in order.' The IDF has already made it clear that the order will not apply to Israeli citizens in the West Bank - you know - the illegal Jewish settlers. In fact, if you are Mongolian and can produce a faded newspaper clip announcing your grandfather's bar mitzvah - that will be sufficient documentation to acquire immediate Israeli citizenship and get a red carpet reception when you relocate to the occupied territories. They'll even provide you with subsidized housing if you take them up on the offer.
However, if you happen to be of the Palestinian persuasion, the IDF won't worry if you're married to a woman from Nablus or engaged to a Palestinian from East Jerusalem. If you're not Jewish - you have to move on. Even if you were born in the West Bank but your mother made the mistake of being born in Gaza, you qualify for deportation.
But what if both your parents were born in Jaffa, but they ended up being refugees in Gaza? You still get deported to Gaza - because you're not Jewish. What if your mother was a refugee from Nazareth who took refuge in Bethlehem and your father was born in Jerusalem but ended up in a refugee camp in Gaza. You're still deportable - because you're not Jewish. There are all kinds of possibilities if you're not Jewish.
